@rp_griffin @gelliottmorris @jon_m_rob Every dot here is a progressive policy that we've polled (subgroup estimates are unweighted, no MRP).
Ideological identification is clearly very meaningful for young/old, though young conservatives being ~ half-way between old moderates/old conservatives is interesting.

Does age change people's understanding of words? Or are the kids just that liberal?

We'll see if it continues but it seems like Californians are starting to realize the recall is real, Gov. Larry Elder is a genuine possibility, and the numbers are turning. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/california-rec…

While many brave firefighters are doing the best they can to protect life and property under difficult circumstances, the ONLY thing that has worked to stop this fire so far is the Caples Ecosystem Restoration Project, a large prescribed fire from 2019.

Terrific bargain, about $63 per acre, the whole thread is good if you’re interested, especially examples of the impact shown on a map.

Never forget that when Trump struck Syria with missiles for the first time, old legacy media pundits gleefully noted he finally “became president.”
When Biden ended a war, that same set was repulsed, & helped deliver the biggest blow to his presidential approval ratings so far.

Really bad incentives here, I’m not sure what to do.

WOW - a big day!!! AB 122 by Asm @tashaboerner passed the Senate today, allowing a bicyclist approaching a stop sign to yield, rather than stopping!!! This will increase safety and uptake of biking. Back to Assembly and then to Governor.

I mentioned this a while back, pleasantly surprised to see it's happening. As I mentioned before, there’s a lot of evidence that this improves safety.

Density is not the same as overcrowding. California doesn’t build enough homes, so we have an overcrowding problem.
